Enter StartPage, a search engine that makes Google searches private. When you type your query, StartPage anonymously submits it to Google and displays the results back to you. By adding this middle man, your privacy is protected since Google is not placing tracking cookies on your browser or logging your IP address to associate you with those searches.

While StartPage doesn’t carry all of Google’s advanced features, it certainly isn’t barebones. You can search for images and videos anonymously, and a settings page allows you to change your theme, highlight your search terms on a page, and adjust other options.

StartPage provides a good combination of Google’s powerful Web searching and protecting your privacy. Like any search engine, it’s worth trying out for a week to see if it’s something you’d like to use long-term. If you’re concerned for privacy and didn’t love DuckDuckGo, StartPage might be for you.

My ears hurt all the time someone installed an illegal xfinity Comcast camera in my house, person who owns it says no cameras in house it's recorded having the conversation with the owner that I was told there is none , someone is creepy enough to use me as a guinea pig for a psychology project researched a lot ..... found that latest technology can capable of anything other than hacking a phone or computer

So I tried this search engine out and IMO, Google still gets better results when searching content. StartPage doesnt give you same results as Google even after tweaking settings. Id like to get from under the microscope of Google as well but StartPage doesnt seem like an option.
Is there particular settings that should be set???

Thanks, Ben. I really like DuckDuckGo, but I also like the additional parameters Google allows like, Past Month, Past Year, etc. Looks like StartPage may be a keeper. Going to go experiment a little with it...
